Hmm, I'll go play with it when I get home. If you have to do 12 players, can I just put in the same 2 players for both teams? Say, Howard Eisley and Greg Foster? Or figure out who the absolute average players are and use them? Maybe find 2 players with a WARP of exactly 0.If we're using this site for simulation that Gandalf posted, we need to establish some ground rules.
It appears you need to select 12 players per team in order to save a team and thus create matchups. Who will be the 2 additional players that get added to each of our rosters (since we only drafted 10 here)? If there's a way to save a team with only 10 players, then this commentary is irrelevant.
In addition, are we simulating only one time for each matchup? If this is meant to be an accurate guess of theorized matchups, repeated simulations will give a better chance that the results of the simulation are not due to error. Therefore, I submit each matchup be simulated 3 times, with the winner taking best of 3 matchups.
The simulation will be merely run and people can use it for advisement, but won't count as a vote or anything. Except maybe for the supertiebreaker.So simulation means no voting?
Damn,... that's where I make my money...
Muahahahaha...
Which is what I said.Simulations can be fun for ***** and giggles, but it shouldn't be the way the winner is determined. It's always been voting and people made their teams with that in mind.

What? I didn’t even call him an idiot. I agreed with him.The difference between TJF and I in a nut shell lol
We did them before voting last year.Do we put out the simulation's results BEFORE or AFTER the voting finishes?
If it's posted BEFORE voting, won't it change the way voters vote?
And is that a good or a bad thing?
If it does sway voters in 1 direction, then what's the point of voting?
(just having fun with this.. it's a long offseason .. haha)
I sent you a pmWe did them before voting last year.

Please PM me your writeup, so I don't have to sort through the thread to find it later.@Thee jazz fan
I went all in on Karl Malone as the ultimate “Death Lineup” Wildcard. Imagine Karl Malone in Draymond Green’s role for the Warriors in the Hampton 5 Lineup. That was what I built my team around.
1 - Kyle Lowry / John Wall
2 - Jimmy Butler / Marques Johnson
3 - James Worthy / Glenn Robinson
4 - Kevin Durant / Bobby Jones
5 - Karl Malone / Nate Thurmond
My “Fab Four” - Butler, Worthy, KD and Malone all play 40 minutes each. Lowry, Wall and Thurmond play 16 minutes as a “traditional” PG and C (respectively) with Marques Johnson playing 11 minutes as a backup 2, Robinson playing 11 minutes as a backup 3 and Bobby Jones splitting his time as a backup 4/5 as needed.
Butler also gets some minutes as the primary ball handler (like he did in the most recent playoffs) so I can have a lineup of all 5 players between 6’7” and 6’11” and switchable as hell on defense.
Please PM me your writeup, so I don't have to sort through the thread to find it later.PG - Steph Curry / Gilbert Arenas
SG - Clyde Drexler / Tony Allen
SF - Grant Hill / Peja Stojakovic
PF - Dirk Nowitzki / Amare Stoudemire
C - Marc Gasol / DeAndre Jordan
@gandalfe here's my lineup
Yep. I’m writing it up for you now. Was just responding to Thee’s previous request for info so he could do his write up.Please PM me your writeup, so I don't have to sort through the thread to find it later.
